Evolutionists Going Banana's Over HitlerCoral Ridge Ministries is releasing a documentary this week called "Darwin's Deadly Legacy" on the links between Darwin's evolutionary theory and Hitler. What is really amazing however, is that people are criticising the documentary before seeing it. Kind of like making up your mind before even looking at the evidence. Hmmmm... a pattern.

I would argue that even if Hitler really did use Darwin's theory as inspiration for the mass-murder of Jews, he got it wrong. Throwing millions of Jews into death camps is, in my opinion, artificial selection! It is stacking the decks, not proving the superior adaptability of a breed of human.

This is trying to place human's above other animals who compete and kill each other in the wild. But on what grounds does an atheistic evolutionist have for making this distinction? On their grounds, we are just animals. We have bigger brains and better tool use, but this in no way should render our actions as 'artificial selection'.

Ah well. There is plenty of evidence linking Hitler and Darwinian theory. Even secular evolutionists like Niles Elderidge have admitted as much. Darwinian theory has underlied both Naziism, and communism....not a good record.

I think you miss the point. Naziism was based on evolution as a foundational concept. The same cannot be said for the protestant tradition.

Thanks for the article though...it takes a few political statements by Hitler and shows nicely how he tried to twist scripture to get support from the churches. A little further reading however makes it clear what he really thought of the church.

For instance, from "Hitler's secret conversations" 1953

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things."

or

"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State."

I read an article recently that talked about the Nazi Bible. I guess they are hard to find because most churches got rid of them as quickly as they were shipped. It basically erased Jewish references, had the 12 Commandments, and was manipulated to match Nazi ideology.
